The boss of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Olajide Oduyoye has indicated that its officers would soon start wearing body cameras.
In his view, this will aid them to deal effectively with traffic offenders and he made this known in a recent submission on Channels Television.
In his submission, he said;
“This year, we are definitely hoping to start in the next few weeks what you will say are non-approachable offence dealings. That means we are going to be having body cameras on officers to capture incidences because things happen so fast and you can’t really say let me get my camera.
But if you have your body camera on that is recording, then, you can capture all sorts of different things that you can use against offenders.
Those who willfully disobey traffic signs go in the middle of the night to remove those signs. When they are caught, they will say that there were no signs. They go and remove the signs to prove they aren’t aware of the signs. This happens all the time.”
